Molitg-les-Bains

Molitg-les-Bains is a small village built into the rocky slopes of a gorge, situated on a sunny plateau roughly 600 meters (2,000 feet) above sea level surrounded by mountains. The thermal station at the gorge's base offers facilities with warm mineral waters, while a church tower marks the site of a former castle and the area includes historic structures like the ruins of Paracolls fortress.

The village has a long tradition of using thermal waters that attracted people seeking healing and wellness over centuries. Facilities gradually developed to serve visitors, establishing the thermal station as a recognized destination for health-focused travel in the region.

The town centers around its thermal waters and the tradition of wellness that visitors experience today. People come to relax in the baths and local life revolves around this practice of taking time for rest and healing.

The place is easily accessible by car and fully walkable on foot throughout. Bring comfortable clothing and a towel, as walking paths along the river lead down to the thermal baths at the gorge's base.

Houses are built directly into the rocky gorge slopes and blend into the landscape as if part of the rock face itself. This construction makes the village visually merge with its surroundings, creating a striking visual effect when approaching along the road.
